I always love looking back and putting together my Year in Review blogpost. All the feelings rush back to me from your engagement sessions, weddings and family photography sessions. I feel so incredibly blessed that I get to experience a piece of your lives and trusted to capture such important memories. I don't know how I got so luck.
Thank you!
I look f[...]

There are so many things that come to mind when I think back to Mike and Crystals Wedding Day. From the little touches of decor that made the venue theirs, the pictures of them growing up, the doughnut wedding cake, the unique flowers they had designed by Syd Kemsley Florist, their personal hashtag they created #TheBradleysPerfectlyBlended, the laughter...[...]

Carlee and Steven had a beautiful fall wedding this year. They chose to have their wedding ceremony at the lovely Greenhill Gardens in Wilkesports. This was a charming setting for their outdoor ceremony as well as a fabulous location for their wedding pictures.
I started the day at their home in Wallaceburg where Carlee was just about finished her make-up a[...]

Jodi and Darren had booked the afternoon off from work and were driving in from Leamington for their engagement session. Sure enough it was a rainy day and no option to reschedule. What were we to do? We went with it. I had some umbrellas in the back of my car and we just had fun playing and dancing in the rain. I loved how willing the two of them were to ge[...]

Mat and Sam rocked their engagement session last week. We met in Blenheim to start their session and ended at one of my favourite locations, Erieau. I was so excited that they included their fur babies for their engagement photos. Goose and Bella were adorable and so well behaved. Mat and Sam really know what they are doing when it comes to animals.
It may [...]

I'm so happy to share Kyle & Kate's beautiful Country Church Wedding. Their wedding day was held on a sweltering fall weekend. Yes...sweltering. I can say these two have a knack for picking extreme weather situations for their photography sessions. We did their engagement photos on a very frigid December afternoon.
Kates dress was so elegant and absolu[...]

I had the pleasure of photographing Chris and Hilary's Wedding day last week. It was a perfect fall day. The temperature was gorgeous, the fluffy clouds perfect and the love was evident. Not only the love between Hilary and Chris but the love their families had for them. Clearly their parents were waiting for this wedding day to happen and make things offici[...]

Amber and Lucas are an amazing young couple that I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding. It was incredible to watch them together. Amber has a million and one facts stored in her brain and Lucas just smiles and looks at her in awe as she retrieves any of them during a conversation. He holds the car (or in their case truck) door open for her to get[...]

Two weeks ago I had the privilege of photographing Samantha and Tristan's wedding at the gorgeous Links of Kent Golf Club. Months of planing go into your special day but what you can't plan for is Mother Nature. Rain was in the forecast (like every day it seems) and their outdoor ceremony needed to be moved inside. Thank goodness it was, the worst of the s[...]

How could I say no when Dan and Jess asked me to do their engagement session in Port Stanley Ontario? This was a special location for them. They have had many date nights and walks with their beloved pup Buffy. Buffy was pretty thrilled to be back at their date spot. She was running around on her leash back and forth across the sand. I wish I had a quarter o[...]

We ended up with a beautiful Sunday evening for Mike and Crystals engagement session. It was iffy with a rain storm in the afternoon but we waited it out and were lucky enough to have a dry session. This is the wettest Spring I can recall. The farmers are still trying to plant and we are already into June.
For Mike and Crystals engagement photos they brough[...]

What a Spring we've been having here in Southern Ontario. We've had so many rain days that I'm about ready to build an ark. Thankfully Mother Nature decided to be kind to us last week for Steven and Carlee's Engagement Photos. The sun even decided to come out for us.
I met with Steven and Carlee at Two Creeks Conservation Area in Wheatley Ontario for their[...]

Alex looked so beautiful when she pulled up for their recent engagement session. She had her wedding make-up trial done for their engagement photos (which I always recommend doing) and she was positively glowing.
During their egagement photography session it was so clear to me how comfortable these two are together. We had nothing but laughs shared between [...]

I finally had the privileged of meeting Kyle and Kate this week. The crazy week between Christmas and New Years Eve. Both are not living locally so all of our communications have been over the phone or the web. Thankfully they were able to make it to Chatham-Kent for the holidays and we squeezed in their engagement session.
These two are a sweet young coupl[...]

Ryan & Amy got married this Fall. If you recall we had a very wet Autumn. It seemed as though it rained every single Saturday. This one was no different. They do say it is lucky to have rain on your wedding day. Ryan and Amy had to move their outdoor ceremony indoors. Thankfully the Sydenham Curling Club was where their reception was to be held and offer[...]

As soon as my friends Erik and Rachel became engaged I knew I wanted to do an engagement session for them. What a fun way to celebrate your love.
It was only a matter of time before these two would become engaged. I don't know if I have ever met a couple more suited for each other. They have so many common interests and their personalities compliment each o[...]

Kyle and Nikki recently got married at the Rochester Place Golf Course & Resort in Belle River. It was my first time photographing at this location. What a beautiful venue with the golf course for scenery. Plus you had the option of renting cabins to stay the night of the wedding or even before hand to get ready for the wedding in. That's just what Kyle [...]

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ryan and Trina last week for their Engagement Session. We met in Erieau Ontario. This was their first visit to this quaint little town. I absolutely love doing engagement sessions out there. There is something about the beach and the water that I find very romantic.
Trina and Ryan will be celebrating their wedding day [...]

I had the pleasure of photographing Ian and Joceyln for their engagement photos. This is actually the first time they have had professional photos taken together.
The two of them were so fun and easy to work with but I must admit Duke their lab stole the show. I loved how he hopped through the wheat field with so much joy.
Thankfully the massive storm happ[...]

I know Ryan and Colleen have been waiting to see their sneak peek from their June 9th wedding day. Well, Colleen has been waiting anyway hehe. If you want to revisit their engagement session you can here.
Leading up to their summer wedding it looked like we were going to have to deal with thunderstorms. With the weather network saying 90% chance of rain tha[...]

I couldn't wait to share the beautiful images from Austin and Kim's recent engagement session. They are such a lovely young couple. I'm really looking forward to their June Wedding.
I have met Kim a few times since I had the honour of being her sisters wedding photographer but as well as her brothers. It's very exciting to get to work with this wonderful [...]

Where do I even begin with Brett & Gena's blogpost? These two are an amazing couple surrounded by just as amazing friends and family. The best part is how thankful they are to have them around. All throughout their wedding day they kept saying how lucky they were to have the friends and family they do.
The two of them made me feel like one of their gro[...]

2017 has come to an end. The year flew by. I had so much fun meeting so many new clients and making new friends. I'm sad to see 2017 end but I'm very excited to see what 2018 has in store. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your 2017, whether it was for family pictures or wedding pictures I loved it all. Let me share a few of my favourite images from [...]

Johnny and Kaila drove up to Chatham-Kent last weekend for a rainy engagement session. We spent the first half of our time exploring the private property of a friend where we will be doing their wedding photos. We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous location.
After we left the property we headed to Erieau Ontario. This is always a popular choice for eng[...]

I met up with Ryan and Colleen at the beautiful Greenhill Gardens in Wilkesport, Ontario for their Engagement Pictures. We had the most amazing fall weather for their session. Golden light, warm air and beautiful sunset.
I was surprised and pleased when Ryan brought his antique Chevrolet for their engagement session. It is clear he takes a lot of pride in i[...]

What a great time I had photographing Delve and Lorene for their engagement session. We met up at Brander Park in Port Lambton. I think its fair to say we were all blown away by the beauty of the park and we all wanted to run away because of the bugs. We didn't think to bring bug spray and the mosquitoes were hungry. Not that I think the bug spray would ha[...]

I was so excited to share in Adrian & Sylvia's special day!
Adrian and Sylvia said their vows in front of close friends and family with an outdoor ceremony at Deer Run Golf Course. Adrian shared some wisdom with all of us regarding making room for family first. It may have left me with a lump in my throat and more determination to make time for those th[...]

I was so excited to be the photographer for Chris and Katie's Spring Wedding here in Chatham-Kent. I've had various opportunities to meet them and photograph them over the last few years. Most recently was their engagement session at Wilson's Conservation. Have a peek here: Chris & Katie's Engagement Session
We had such an amazing day for their wedding.[...]

What a fun time I had with Brett and Gena. The two of them love winter and snow. I would hope so considering their wedding will be in January. We were really lucky we had a nice blanket of snow the day of their engagement session plus it snowed a little during it. Despite being freezing cold we all had a great time getting to know each other.
We started th[...]

If you ever need a good ab workout from laughing I suggest you meet Casey and Krag. The two of them made me feel like a comedian and got all of my quirky jokes. They were both so much fun to work with.
Their wedding was perfect! They had a gorgeous fall day for their outdoor ceremony. Their wedding party was fun, supportive and helpful. The love and happine[...]

I had such a great time taking Wade and Suzy's engagement pictures in Erieau last week. A meaningful location for the two of them. They spend many of their summer days there.
Wade and Suzy are as laid back as they come. As soon as you meet them they both make you feel important and like a friend. I'm so lucky that I get to meet so many wonderful people on t[...]

I honestly get to meet the best people doing photography. I felt like I had known Sylvia and Adrian for years when we met up at beautiful Rondeau Provincial Park for their engagement session. Two funny, gentle kind souls.
I loved hearing how they were introduced through friends on a blind date and instantly felt a connection. I enjoyed hearing of their hik[...]

I was so excited to photograph Galen and Marianna's fall wedding here in Chatham at the Retro Suites Hotel. The two of them were a blast to work with and many laughs were shared throughout the day. Some of their plans may have been adjusted thanks to Mother Nature but the two of them took it in stride.
I think the best wedding advice I can give to people is[...]

When Jackie and Rob told me they were bringing a classic car to their engagement session I was excited. No way did I imagine the kind of classic car they meant. Sure, we are the classic car capitol of Canada but I have not personally been exposed to one such as this in person. I was in awe.
As soon as I started to photograph these two it was clear how comfo[...]

I was thrilled to photograph Mike and Kerri-Lynn for their engagement photos. Bonus, they included their fur baby Bella for some pictures. Originally we had planed to go to Wilson's Conservation Area for their engagement session but since we had days of rain leading up to it we decided to stick to downtown Chatham. I'm so happy we did. We didn't get muddy or[...]

Jacob and Jordan are an amazing couple. They worked all summer to prepare their property for their intimate wedding. Unfortunately you can't always count on the weather to cooperate. There was an impressive storm that came in right after their outdoor ceremony started. The couple and guests took cover quickly and waited for the worse of it to pass. It didn'[...]

Chris and Sabrina like many others had a memorable wedding day. They planned all the details for their special day from afar with the help of Kim, a wedding planer at Blossoming Dream.
Mother nature had other ideas for their outdoor ceremony. Luckily we had use of the loft in the barn. Everyone was able to stay dry and witness the most important part of the[...]

Roger and Kate drove all the way to Chatham to meet with me for their engagement photos. Neither of them are familiar with Chatham. I was very happy they loved the location I picked to do their engagement pictures at.
Roger and Kate are such a sweet couple. I brought along my daughter for the first time to assist me (holding gear and reflectors) and they ma[...]

Jason and Sarah planned for a Spring Wedding. Last weekend in Chatham-Kent we had every season you could imagine. Sunshine, snow and rain. It made for a beautiful and exciting day.
When we first met to discuss their wedding details we had already planned to do most of their wedding pictures inside. The Retro Suites in Downtown Chatham makes a perfect settin[...]

Another year is wrapping up. I couldn't let 2015 slip by without a huge heartfelt thanks to my friends, family and clients who have supported me this last year. 2015 has been my best year yet and I know it can only get better. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many fantastic people who have touched my life in many positive ways this year. I can only say [...]

I had a lovely time getting to know these two.They came to their engagement session ready to have fun and horse around as well as pull out some of my favourite poses from zoolander. I was surprised to [...]

I was able to meet up with Galen and Marianna last weekend for their engagement session. Until this point we had only met through facetime, texts and phone calls. I personally feel my awkwardness comes across a lot better in person. Marianna and Galen are not from Chatham but decided they would have their wedding at the unique Retro Suites Hotel.
I was conc[...]

Josh and Lindsay were married on an usually blustery September day. Luckily there was no rain for their beautiful out door ceremony at the Links of Kent in Chatham.
I started the morning off by meeting Lindsay and her girls at Fringe Hair Salon in Chatham. Everyone was quiet and relaxed as they got their hair and make-up done. All the girls looked lovely [...]

I had a fantastic time meeting up with D'Arcy, Jen and their two little rugrats last Sunday in Amherstburg for their engagement/family photos.

We started the evening[...]

I am so happy to share Gerald and Alison's wedding day.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gerald and Alison this summer along with their sweet little girl who joined us fo[...]

I met with Mark & Patricia last year not long after they became engaged. I instantly felt connected to them with their warm and easy laid back personalities. A gorgeous vibrant young couple full of energy and excitement.
Their summer wedding was just as fun as I imagined it to be. The morning was relaxed as the girls got their hair and make-up done. Mar[...]

Vicky and Matt got married on a gorgeous day in June. Vicky was relaxed, funny and so easy to work with.

We made a quick stop to his parents farm to grab some pictures with him and his guys.
The ceremony was in Glencoe with the recept[...]

Was it only a week ago that I met Alison and Gerald (and their little daughter Miss S) for their engagement session? Alison and Gerald live in the big city of Toronto. You may have heard of it. All our conversations had either been through email, text or facetime. It was so much fun to actually meet them and their daughter in person.
I can't wait for the[...]

I met Lindsay and Josh at the beach for their Spring Engagement Session. It was my first time in Erieau this year and it looked a little different from the fall. Things were starting to grow again and turn green.
We had a beautiful evening for our engagement session. It felt very relaxing walking around Erieau with these two getting to know them better. T[...]

This weeks blog post is coming in on a Thursday, so with it being a Thursday I thought I would throw it back, way back to a year ago.
John and Jessica got married in Chatham last April. It was a gorgeous overcast (those are my favourite) type of day.
The morning was relaxed and fun and lots of laughs were shared while the girls got their hair and make[...]

I am very excited to be shooting Matt and Vicky's upcoming Wedding this summer. We went to Sloan's Christmas Tree Village located just outside of Bothwell for their engagement session. It was a very fitting location since it was close to Christmas. We lucked out with the weather that day. It was mild enough that we didn't need to wear our jackets.
I had [...]

A little late I realize. I really enjoyed the Christmas break and being with my family. Now that school and work have resumed so has my routine. It's Monday so that means it's time for a new Monday Blog post.
I wanted my first post of 2015 to be a Thank you!
Thank you, to all my clients and friends (my clients are my friends now) for choosing me to be [...]
